bombastic?
I hardly think that's the word for these pieces. (Based on the article on the whole, I don't think the writer meant it in a derogatory fashion. (He/she afterwards calls them "memorable," for example.)

 * You're certainly correct that I did not intend anything derogatory -- these are among my favourite pieces in the repertoire -- by using the term "bombastic"; it was mean to connote "energetic", "vivacious", "celebratory", etc. However, I can understand that maybe it isn't the best word to use, so I've since replaced it with "lively".


 * Also, you should feel perfectly free to modify any of the articles on Wikipedia if you think you can improve upon them: Wikipedia belongs to everyone. So be bold! -- Todeswalzer | Talk 01:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Some of these pieces are bombastic, that would be the best word for it Evildoctorcow 23:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


 * A few passages here and there might be considered so (the only ones I can think of are in the middle sections of Opus 42 nos. 4 and 6, though these do not strike me as offensive in context), but I don't think that adjective applies to even one of these pieces as a whole. You are of course entitled to your opinion.

Opus 46 Nos. 3 and 6
In the original edition of the piano four-hand version, no. 3 was the D Major sousedská and no. 6 the A flat Major polka. Their positions were reversed in the orchestral version. This order is now generally used. Kostaki mou (talk) 20:25, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
